Eocene F - Rocky Mountains w& Rob Thomas & Darrel Cowan

Course Overview

Eocene F - Rocky Mountains w& Rob Thomas & Darrel Cowan is a course that provides an overview of the Rocky Mountains. The course begins with a video and lecture on the Rocky Mountain overview, followed by a storytime. Flat slab subduction and Stanford geologist showcase are then discussed, followed by an end load collision and Basil Tikoff email. Rob Thomas then talks about Sevier and Laramide styles, and Darrell Cowan discusses the Rocky Mountain debate. The course concludes with a Q&A session and a toast and goodbye.

[Career Paths]
1. Geologist: Geologists study the physical structure and composition of the Earth, its history, and the processes that shape it. They use their knowledge to explore for and develop natural resources, such as minerals, oil, and natural gas, and to mitigate natural hazards, such as earthquakes, landslides, and floods. The demand for geologists is expected to grow as the need for energy and mineral resources increases.

2. Petroleum Engineer: Petroleum engineers design and develop methods for extracting oil and gas from deposits below the Earth's surface. They also develop new technologies to improve the efficiency of oil and gas extraction. As the demand for energy resources increases, the demand for petroleum engineers is expected to grow.

3. Environmental Scientist: Environmental scientists study the environment and the effects of human activities on it. They use their knowledge to develop strategies to protect and restore the environment. As the world becomes increasingly aware of the need to protect the environment, the demand for environmental scientists is expected to grow.

4. Geospatial Analyst: Geospatial analysts use geographic information systems (GIS) to analyze and interpret data related to the Earth's surface. They use their knowledge to create maps, analyze trends, and develop strategies to address environmental and social issues. As the demand for data-driven decision-making increases, the demand for geospatial analysts is expected to grow.

[Education Paths]
1. Geology: Geology is the study of the Earth, its composition, structure, and history. It is a rapidly growing field, with new discoveries being made every day. Geologists can specialize in a variety of areas, such as mineralogy, petrology, paleontology, and seismology. With a degree in geology, graduates can pursue careers in research, teaching, and industry.

2. Environmental Science: Environmental science is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the study of the environment and its interactions with humans. It combines elements of biology, chemistry, physics, and other sciences to understand the natural world. Graduates with a degree in environmental science can pursue careers in research, policy, and conservation.

3. Earth Science Education: Earth science education is a field that focuses on teaching students about the Earth and its processes. It combines elements of geology, meteorology, oceanography, and other sciences to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the Earth. Graduates with a degree in earth science education can pursue careers in teaching, research, and outreach.

4. Petroleum Engineering: Petroleum engineering is a field that focuses on the exploration and production of oil and gas. It combines elements of geology, chemistry, and physics to understand the properties of oil and gas reservoirs. Graduates with a degree in petroleum engineering can pursue careers in research, production, and management.
